In My Mailbox is a meme created and hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren with inspiration from Alea at Pop Culture Junkie. It basically give book bloggers everywhere the opportunity to share what books they have received/bought/librarised (yes, I just made up that word and I don't care) over the last week. It's also responsible for my personal wish list and TBR piles growing by several dozen titles each week as I get inspired by what everyone else gets in their mailbox...All book titles link to further info at Goodreads

I recently read Generation Dead (see here for review) and felt fairly ambivilant towards it. Never the less, the story arch was strong enough for me to want to seek out book two in the series. It's going to have to be pretty good for me to continue to book three, though.

I actually don't know much about this book but got it on the strength of a review by Lauren over at I Was a Teenage Book Geek (you can find that review and her awesome blog here). It sounds like a lot of fun.

I know nothing about this book - the cover caught my eye. It seems to be a story based around Inuit mythology and that premise alone is enough to make me really excited about reading it. It sounds fresh and different.

Again, I'd never heard of this book until I picked it up the other day. It looks like a good, old-fashioned, spooky story to me. It's got pretty mixed reviews on Goodreads so I'm interested to see how it turns out.

Oooh, Michelle Harrison's books are awesome. I like The 13 Curses even more than The 13 Treasures, because there's even more Red and she rocks.

On the other hand, I have to confess to really not enjoying Kiss of Life. While I did like a lot of the concepts used in Generation Dead, I totally didn't click with the sequel. I'll be interested to see what you think.
